THE PRICE OF REDEMPTION

Transcription

1 THE PRICE OF REDEMPTION CECIL DUCILLE JULY 2002 (PUBLISHED IN KEEPING IN TOUCH MAY 30, 2004) Praise God! We need to continue to pray this night for the people of this country, for all that the enemies have planned, that God might frustrate them. They made an attack at Los Angeles Airport killing 4 people and wounding others. There was another plane that crashed, killing 14 people around the Los Angeles area. We do not know how much the enemy is working, but what we do know is that God can stop him. Let us go before God and ask Him to stop the enemy from really hurting God s people. The prayer we need is, God, save Your people! Hallelujah! God, save Your people! I want to talk to you about the price of redemption. God has been bringing a thought to me and I have been working with the thought, but it isn t fully formed so I am just going to depend on Jesus Christ to give it to you. We can start with Hebrews chapter 9, from verse 15 to verse 23. It speaks of a divine principle that works in the heavenlies and on the earth. Everything that we see on the earth represents something in the heavenlies. Hebrews 9:15, And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. 16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. 18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. 19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, 20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. 21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. 22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. We had Brother Gruver saying a strange thing, something that was strange to many of our ears and that is that he is going around remitting the sins. Have you ever heard him say that? Then I m sure you don t understand it, because it is a difficult thing to understand without knowing exactly what is meant by remitting of sins. God has been showing me a principle. 23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us (Hebrews 9:23-24).

2 Now, we have heard this time and time again, and to some of us, it has not become a reality. You hear it. You believe it. You know it. You walk in it. But, somehow, you haven t grasped the reality of what it is. As I was praying, God began to explain something to me. He said, You know the principle of money? You take money. You work for money. You take the money and you pay someone, and the person gives you something for that money. It is a heavenly principle. God created the whole principle of money so that certain things can pay for certain other things, but there was nothing that could pay for sin. And I asked, But why? Why could not my blood pay for your sin? Amen. Why could I not pay some money and get some remission of sin? Why couldn t I do it? What is there about it? There are some things you can pay money for, and there are some things you cannot pay money for. Some things cost more money than other things, so, if we get the principle, that is a heavenly principle. The paying with money for something is a heavenly principle. Now, there was a thing that happened in heaven. God set up Himself as a righteous God, the Holy God. Immediately it created reverse action. Amen. I m talking about heavenly things now. Immediately, as God set Himself as holy, righteous, good, love, peace, joy, it created a vacuum, for what if I don t have love? What if I don t have peace? What if I don t have God? What if I don t have righteousness? I must have something else. And that opposite pole became reality when one angel said, Hey! There is a vacuum out there. Let me fill it. He created Satan. God made - God didn t create - God made an angel and He called him the Bright One, Heylel. Hallelujah! But Heylel created evil, for before that there was no evil. Amen. There was no evil. Because of God s good, there was an opposite pole and the opposite was evil. So this angel decided he was going to fill the opposite pole and his premise was this: he felt that the opposite pole must have the same amount of power as the righteousness, that evil would have the same power as righteousness. Very stupid, very foolish deduction, for God who made righteousness could not have made someone who had the power to overthrow Him. Amen. Maybe you and I would do that, but God wouldn t do that, for God could see way down there in the future. So, this angel decided that he was going to create this opposite thing. But then there is a problem there, because if God wants to redeem you out of that thing over there, He is going to have to pay for you, because the only thing that can cancel wickedness, sin, and darkness, is righteousness, holiness, and life. That life must be a force that has a power to create and to deliver. Like every force, like every power, when you use it, it is expended so that God had to expend power to deliver. One day, Jesus Christ was walking and speaking to His brethren and to the people. Suddenly He felt the power, the energy, the life source that was within Him pull out. The life came out of Him. Now, if such a life came out of you and I, we would drop dead. We couldn t make it. But the life came out of Him and He said, I felt energy come out of me. He called it virtue. He said, I felt virtue leave me. (Luke 8:46). Why? The woman stole the payment for her sins and her condition, and she received it. Amen. Can you understand what I am talking about? Then He turned around and forgave her. Had she asked for it, He would have given it to her, but she took it, and it is only by faith that you can reach into the heavenlies and take from God. Do you understand? It is only by faith. If you ve got the type of faith that you believe, you believe, you believe, then you can reach up and take anything. All things are possible to him that believeth. Copyright 2002 Sonlight Ministries Intl. 2

3 I told you the story several times of my sister-in-law being sick with polio. Her limbs began to contort. She was being twisted into many shapes. My mother called me and said, Your sister-in-law is dying and they do not want you to know. Immediately I went on a fast and I said, God save her, and I saw a vision. An angel came to me, and said, Come. He gave me a handle and he was kind of stretching it out, going along the road. When he reached the crossroads, he turned to me and said, Who is going to pay for this? My heart leapt, because I never thought a payment would be required of me, and do you know what came before me? Death. Death came before me. That moment I had to make a decision if I would give my life for my sister-in-law and I said, I will pay. He said, Okay, and he went on. Somebody asked me, Did you pay? I surely paid. What happened is that I found out that there is a principle among devils, and a principle among God s angels, that they fully well understand what it is to give life. Paul said that in your teaching, you should teach the laying on of hands (I Timothy 4:14). Do you remember that? The laying on of hands. Beware of laying hands on anybody. Paul said, never lay hands on anyone suddenly, without thought, without preparation, without understanding (I Timothy 5:22). Do you know why? You might die. One day we were going to pray for a woman. The woman was sick, actually given up for dead, in her home. The doctor had given her over to bid her family good bye, for she couldn t live. She was so far gone. They sent and asked us to come and to pray for her. So, I got some of the elders and we were walking over this mountain to go and pray for her. There was a young brother with us, we called him C.C. He felt that he wanted the glory of laying his hand upon a person and seeing the person get better. So he cut a shortcut through the bushes, and got there before we did and he laid his hands on her. When we went there, we saw him crippled. His right hand started withering up and he couldn t stretch it out. As long as that boy lived, because he eventually died, he never was able to get back no prayers we could pray were able to get back that hand. Amen. He had gone and offered himself to the devil that held that woman, and he did not have the virtue, the energy, the power of God to pay for it. Hallelujah! Amen. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, had human flesh upon Him, and He fasted for forty days to break the power of David in His bloodstream. Remember, He was God. God was His Father. He had the blood of His Father but He also had the blood of His mother. His mother was a daughter of David and she was human. As a human being, He could not overcome and deal with the type of spirits He was dealing with unless He had cleared His system of all humanity so that God could flow through. So, Jesus Christ had to go to Calvary. I said, But, God, couldn t Jesus just lie down and die? Couldn t He just get a cut and bleed to death and His Blood fall out? Why did they have to beat Him? Why did they have to put the whip across His back, and make the lacerations on His back? Why did they have to use the cat-of-nine on Him? Why did they have to batter Him so before He died? What is the purpose, what is the meaning of it? The meaning of it is that He had the money; He had the goods and He could pay for what you and I were going to have. Amen. Do you know that He got every type of wound that humans could get? Did you ever think of it? We had a song that said, Five Bleeding Wounds He Bore, He received on Calvary. He received the first: the thorns, sharp puncture wounds through His Head. Then He received the lacerations on His back with a whip that broke up His back and made it bloody. Then He received the wound, dull blow, and the man before Caiaphas, when He spoke to the high priest, he slapped Him in His face, a bruised, blood Copyright 2002 Sonlight Ministries Intl. 3

4 type of blow, a box. Then He received the nail wounds through His hands and through His feet. Then He received the sword wound. They thrust it right through His heart. Amen. So, all the wounds that you and I can receive, He received them. Amen. Hallelujah! He said, I give unto you power over the power of the devil and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10:19). So, I m going to read a few scriptures here. Go to Romans 6:23, For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let s go back to verses 15 and 16. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? In other words, if you yield to sin or to a demon, you become the slave of the demon. He captures you. You are his slave, you have to obey him and to be redeemed, you have to pay for it. Amen. Legally, to redeem a slave, you have to pay for him, because if you kill the slave master, the slave would belong to the next of kin. If you killed the next of kin then it would belong to the next of kin. You would never be able to get away from slavery by killing the master. Amen. But you could purchase it. Somebody s labor, money, blood, you could bring it to him and you could purchase the redemption of the slave. So, we are talking about this purchase money, and God is saying to us that Jesus Christ had a bank account. He had a heavenly bank account. Can anybody remember how that came in? The scripture said, before the foundation of the world, He was crucified (Revelation 13:8). He put down the money. He put down His life. All the power, the energy, the life of God that was in Him was put down for the purpose of redeeming all the slaves of Adam. 17But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. 18Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. 19I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. 20For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 21What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. 22But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:17-23). In other words, once you are taken in sin, you have entered into death. There is nothing on earth or anywhere else that can redeem you but the BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST. So I asked God, Why can the Blood of Jesus Christ redeem me from anything that I have done, any sin I have committed? You know, the Bible said, Thou shalt not murder. The translators write in the Bible, Thou shalt not kill. That would be a contradiction, for God told the Israelites to go out and kill the Amalekites. Why? Why did God tell them to kill the Amalekites? Why did God tell David to go and kill so many people? There is a reason. The Amalekites had to be killed. Yes? There are certain people who have to be killed. He said, thou shalt not murder. Let me show you the law of God which tells you that. Genesis chapter 9:6, Whoso sheddeth man s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. God made man in His image, therefore, anybody who killed God s image has to pay a price. The only thing Copyright 2002 Sonlight Ministries Intl. 4

5 that will wipe out that destruction is the blood of the killer. That is very, very different from what the Supreme Court is trying to do, yes? You see, God did not say, Thou shalt not kill. God said, Thou shalt not murder. Because if God said, Thou shalt not kill, God couldn t tell someone else to kill the murderer. That would be contradictory. Don t you see? So God said, Thou shalt not murder. When you hear people blabbing and carrying on about the death sentence, that is polluting the land. I m going to show you from the Word of God what happens when innocent blood is shed in a country and it is not requited. What happens is it is piling up and it is going to bring judgment on this land. In other words, God said, the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life (Romans 6:23). In other words, the gift of God works against death. The only thing that can wipe out death is the gift of God. Amen. So, therefore, if someone kills a person, the only way you would save that person from being killed is how? The Blood of Jesus! When you pay the price, it wipes out, it cancels out the murder. Are you with me? You see, the Law of God says that if a man kills another man, then by man shall that man be killed. He said, if a beast kills a man, then the beast must be killed, must be thrust through and killed. The scripture tells us something here. You read Genesis where Cain killed Abel. God said a peculiar thing. He said, The blood of thy brother is crying out from the ground. And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother s keeper? And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother s blood crieth unto me from the ground. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother s blood from thy hand; When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth (Genesis 4:9-12). Now, you actually see the judgment God has put down there. He said, Because you shed your brother s blood, the blood is crying out to God for justice. God is a God of justice. Innocent blood has to be requited, or remissed. Remission of sins, this gospel of repentance and remission of sins shall be preached throughout all the world till the end comes. So, therefore, the innocent blood that has been shed around here has to be requited. The brethren here have to rise up and get the Blood of Jesus Christ to remit the sins of the blood because if the person dies, the sin is still there. Amen. After Cain died, the land didn t just start blossoming forth and everything else for his family. No. The thing went on. Cain s son killed seven men and the wickedness and sin just went on and on and on and on. Abraham had two sons. The first one was Ishmael, and Ishmael became a wild man. The Bible said he was a wild ass of a man (Genesis 16:12). That means just like a wild ass would run through the bushes and everything, that is how this man was, wild in his spirit. What has happened? Can you tell me what has happened to the spirit of Ishmael? That is what is happening in Israel. That is what is happening here. Now, all the men of Ishmael wear earrings in their ears. Did you know that? I notice I don t see any earrings here. It is a sign of violence. The poor boys don t know it. Because of style, they go and put an earring in their ear, and the devil puts his mark on them because they join themselves with the blood of Ishmael. An innocent blood has been shed, and is being shed right now in the name of Ishmael. You become a part of it. So if you have any children, or brothers, or friends who are putting earrings in their ear, gently take the scripture. Show them that Joshua saw these men and he said they were Ishmaelites Copyright 2002 Sonlight Ministries Intl. 5

6 because they had earrings in their ears. I m not talking about women. Jewish women, all the women, they wore earrings. That doesn t make them Ishmaelites. But when men wear earrings in their ears, it makes them Ishmaelites and I want you to remember that. But the spirit of Ishmael is the spirit that sheds innocent blood. It is the spirit of violence. God said it mars the land. Now, what do you think is going to happen in Israel? Judgment is very, very near at hand. Judgment is going to come down upon Israel because of the heap and lot of innocent blood that is being shed there. Amen. Today in Los Angeles Airport innocent blood was shed. A man just came in and started shooting and he shot seven people. It is all part of Ishmael. Ishmael is just getting wild. So, I want you to understand the Word of God. We have the power through the Blood of Jesus Christ to remit to remit the sins of the shedding of blood. Through the Blood of Jesus Christ, that is the only thing that can pay for sin. Let us read a little more. We were at the place where the blood of Abel was calling to God. Can you imagine? Can you imagine the chorus of crying that is going up to heaven at this time? Can you imagine the innocent blood that is being shed every day in all of our cities, every night? Hundreds and thousands are being murdered in our cities. Our cities have become the nests of murder. That is why I would hate to live in a city. Amen. Murder, murder, murder, named Los Angeles, named New York, named Miami, murder. Every day, every night, blood is being shed, innocent blood is being shed and God has to bring all of that to justice. Praise God. Now, in Romans 8, we find it here in verse 2, For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. One law works against the other law, the law of Life. One scripture in Isaiah asks the question, Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? (Isaiah 49:24). Remember now, he did not illegally take the prey. It was in war and he took the prey lawfully. Let me explain that to you; many of us fall prey to the devil by the wrong things that we do. You make a mistake, you commit a sin, you fall unto the devil. You become a lawful prey. You belong to him, because he has knocked you down by the power of his sword and temptation. The question is, Shall the lawful prey be taken away from the one that has captured, from the mighty? Thus saith the Lord, even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered, for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children (Isaiah 49:24-25). Come, brethren. Many of us have children who lawfully belong to the devil, because they have put themselves in the hands of the devil and they have become a lawful prey. Don t think about their sins when you are praying for them. Don t think about their sins when you are praying for them. Think about the power you have to remit their sins. Hallelujah! Think about the power that God has given us over the power of the enemy, the power we have to set at liberty them that are bruised. Amen. The power that we have by the grace of God. Because we are sinners, because we are weak, should we go to hell because we are weak? NO! You go to hell because you reject Jesus. AMEN! Can you understand this doctrine? Amen. This is a new doctrine. It sounds like dominion theology, doesn t it? Have dominion over but we do have the power by the grace of God to remit the sins of them that have sinned, and those that have fallen, to command their deliverance in the name of Jesus, because we, they belong to us blood of our blood flesh of our flesh and by the grace of God, we will save them. AMEN! They must not die because they sinned. Copyright 2002 Sonlight Ministries Intl. 6

7 The question was asked, What shall remove me? What shall remove us from the love of God in Christ Jesus? Shall tribulation? Neither life nor death, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things past, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor anything (Romans 8:38-39)! Come on, brethren! Put it in your soul. Let it be a beacon within your heart! When you pray for your children, don t tell God how bad they are! He knows. When you pray for the weak in our midst, don t tell God anything about their things. He knows all about their sins. Hallelujah! But, God, You have promised me that You will save them! Amen! You have promised me that You will save them. I want You to exercise the power of deliverance by the Blood of Jesus Christ and break them out of hell, and lift them up and give them grace, for we were all once weak and dying. We were all once down and no good. But You by the grace of Your love and Your mercy, You brought us forth! AMEN! Neither height nor depth. Someone says, But since I was a young person, I was abused, and because I was abused, I am making an excuse for my condition. I do not care how much abused you are! I know a woman who was saved who was married to the devil. I know that sounds strange to you. How could a woman be married to the devil? But do you know that the devil has a body that he walks around in sometimes? Come on, now! I don t hear one amen. The devil has a body that he walks around in sometimes. I don t know where he got it, I don t know what it is, but I know that there was a time when he had a wedding and he had a marriage and he married this woman with many witnesses and he consummated the marriage right before everybody. That sounds terrible, but guess what? Jesus saved her! Jesus saved the woman, and the devil lost his wife. Jesus took her. And you know why? The scripture says that Jesus Christ is the light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world (John 1:9). Did you understand that He lights the Muslims, too? Did you understand that the Hindus get light, too? Did you understand that if a man is born in darkness and he knows nothing but darkness, somewhere along his life, Jesus must light it. If Jesus does not light him, then Jesus is responsible for him, for he was born in sin and shaped in iniquity and only God can deliver him, and if Jesus never lights him, he has no hope. If a man has no hope, God can t judge him. God can only judge you if you reject Him. If you don t know Him, you can t reject Him. Therefore, I know a man who was born, hallelujah, and the devil chose him from when his mother was pregnant, and the whole tribe said that child was going to be the christ-child. That is the way they put it. In that part of Africa, they believe that a christ comes every now and then, and that child was going to be a christ-child. And when he was born the sign of the christ-child came upon him. A bee came and sat right in his forehead, and they said, That is it. They began to train him from a baby to be this type of a person. The man grew up; he knew nothing but to deal with devils; to travel astral projection at night to go to various places, to see various things, to walk in the realms of hell. I m telling you strange things this evening. Can you tell me why I m doing this? Why am I telling you these strange things this evening? This man knew nothing more. He knew nothing more. Guess what? God owed him something. AMEN! One day he married and his wife was used at a séance. You know what a séance is? He used her as a medium. A demon would come into her and then he would talk to the demon from her and she hated it. The most horrible thing that can happen to a human being is for a stinking demon to come into you and to take over your mind, take over your mouth. You Copyright 2002 Sonlight Ministries Intl. 7

8 can t do anything, and he just speaks through you. So, she hated it. Every time it was done, she would say, If there is a God, help me! God owed her, and she would say, God, help me! One day, this man was about doing his thing and Jesus appeared before him. Nothing would work for this man and this light was before him. So, he called out to the prince of devils, Come and help me. You promised you would help me if I was in any trouble. He said that the prince of the devils came out there and said, Uuuhhh! NO, NOT THAT ONE!!! He said what lodged in his mind was that he thought, We were the greatest. I didn t know that there was any power greater than us and my prince ran like a thief. Something is wrong here. Jesus took him and showed him how Satan was pulling them all down into hell. All of his converts, because he had a big thing going, all of his converts were being pulled by this devil backwards with chains, and the devil went whooom down into this deep fire and he pulled all of them down with him. When he saw that, he said, I want Jesus. He said, I want You, Jesus! Jesus came in and anointed him with power and delivered him from the prince of devils. Hallelujah! Why? Because Jesus MUST! Jesus MUST light every human being that comes into the world. The only human being who can go to hell is one who REJECTS JESUS. The sister tells us how she was a prisoner for so many years taken by the devil. When God says in the fullness of time, He brought the deliverance. And so this scripture here that says, shall the prey be taken from the mighty? (Isaiah 49:24). Get it into your hearts, brethren. Plant it down deep down. There is no prey, there is no devil that can overcome you!! You know, Sister Emily (Sonmore) used to sing a song, There is no Power That can Overcome You. Amen. There is no power, no power on earth that can overcome us, because we have been bought, purchased, paid for. Every sin is going to have to be paid for. So, all you see men doing out there, there is a pay day coming, for the wages of sin is death but the gift of God will cancel death and save us. Hallelujah! Read for me from Luke 11:50, That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation (Luke 11:50-51). You understand, then, why you can remit the blood, but you have to have the goods. You don t just say, Remit the innocent blood here, and drive away the demons, oh no. You have to have the goods. The only thing that can remit this blood is the Blood of Jesus Christ. We have the Blood of Jesus Christ, but some of us have a problem. There is not a proper flow. You can bite off more than you can chew. You have to have the flow. You have to have the energy, the power, the light. This is why we fast. This is why we pray. Amen! Some of us go sit down and we pray for an hour, but we have not prayed the right prayer. When you are praying, He said, Our Father who art in heaven, I praise your name. The first phrase after you address the Father, the first phrase is, Let Your Kingdom come and let Your will be done in earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:9-13). Why is it that the first phrase you should pray to God for is that the Kingdom should come? Because the Kingdom of God is within you. The Kingdom of God is within you. Why do I have to pray for it to come if it is within me? Because there are restrictions in me, there are blockages in me, the Blood is not flowing properly in me and I have to say, Oh my God, let Your Kingdom come. Blow away the barriers. Move the Copyright 2002 Sonlight Ministries Intl. 8

9 restrictions. Deliver me, Lord God, so I will have the power to deliver others. You notice that God will call someone and tell you to go visit someone over there? And He didn t call the other person and say, Go visit the person, because He has given you the goods. He has given you the goods. Amen! In our days when we were not spiritually sensible, you know that you can be spiritually foolish? We would attack any devil anywhere night and day. We wouldn t sleep, we wouldn t rest, we were very young and man, had just gone crazy for God. Amen! You can imagine me running for miles over a mountain to go and start a meeting at seven o clock. We are running over the hill, through little tracks, through the woodland, getting to a place to pray for a man before the meeting because they sent and asked us one week before and we couldn t get to go. We were so anxious to pray for the man, when we got into the yard, we saw a crowd of people, and we said, Where is he? They pointed to a room. We rushed into the room. Without asking anybody, we laid hands on him and said, In the name of Jesus, rise up! We were so wild. Some people say we frightened the devils, but man! We had one brother with us, when he shouted hallelujah, the windows would rattle. Hallelujah! Rattle, rattle. Hallelujah! Rattle, rattle. When he stomped the floor, the whole place would vibrate. The man was 250 pounds of bare muscle and as strong as an ox and when he shouted, he didn t put his mouth down. When we started shouting in that room, the man sat bolt upright in his bed. His big brown eyes were just rolling, rolling, looking and looking, but boy, when we saw that, we were gone crazy with joy. Amen. He was healed. Amen! He called and tried to stop us from shouting. Something to eat we finally got the message. We called outside to some of the women and said, Bring some food in here for this man. The woman came in and she made one look and she came out screaming because they d had a dead man in the room. They had his death certificate. They were digging his grave in the backyard. The people had gathered for the funeral. Amen. We didn t know, maybe we wouldn t have prayed, but because of the energy and the life that God had given us, we let it loose on him. This man was a sinner. This man was eating. We couldn t wait to see him finish eating. We couldn t wait to get to the meeting on the square. Hallelujah! Where is the life that God has given you? What have you done with it? So many things seem to be blocking that energy flow. Amen? It is blocking your flow. STOP the way you are thinking. Start thinking that there is nothing impossible with God. Start thinking that all things are possible to him that believeth. Start thinking of it, because I tell you, I have seen so many impossible things in my life that nothing is impossible for me. Hallelujah! You name something that you think is impossible and I ll tell you if I have seen it. Oh yeah! Amen! I have seen the energy and life of God get into somebody and cause him to lift up off the floor float away with the power of God. I ve seen a withered hand stretch out and made whole.
